I kinda want to see some pics too. Been waiting on this!

 

[Scuba95Diver]

Sorry everyone for waiting so long on the pics. the pictures should be posted by January 5th.

 

[Scuba95Diver]

I know everyone has been waiting for some pictures of the design but here are a couple from early on in the design. The design should be fully complete by January 5th!

Just out of curiosity, why are you using that type of overflow rather than a coast-to-coast and a Bean Animal style?

Wondering the same as rybren. What diameter are those drains going to be to handle the flow needed? Maybe your figuring in a closed loop for extra flow...need more pics!

Never really was a fan of the animal bean style and I have a little bit more freedom with 4 PVC intake pipes leading into the sump with all the reactors and skimmer. Those pics are not posted yet though! This is only a design. Some stuff may change as I build the actual tank.

Hey Everyone! Here is a few more updated pics on the design!

So all four of those holes are drains? What's the plan for returns? Do you have an equipment list???

I like the handy woman in there for scale! Awesome tank.

Thanks! And yeah. the 4 drains a 2 inch PVC pipe. The return may consist of 2 pumps returning the water back to the tank. I dont know yet where the return pipes are going on the tank yet.

Well, this is way out of my league, but want to follow along.
